Max wild dino level and spawns on ARK: Survival Evolved

Set the max level

1. Open the Max Wild Dino Level card.
2. Turn on Enabled.
3. Set Max Wild Dino Level, for example 150 for the official level or 300 for higher-level creatures.
4. Restart the server.

ARK has no setting that takes a level. It uses a difficulty value, and the highest wild level is that value times 30. The card does the math, so 300 becomes 10.

Creatures already in the world

Only new spawns follow the new level. To replace the creatures that are already there, run DestroyWildDinos from the RCON console, or turn on Force Respawn Dinos on Start on the Dino Settings card for one restart. Auto-Respawn Wild Dinos Interval (s) does it on a timer.

Which creatures spawn

• Dino Spawn Weights: pick a creature, then make it more or less common with Spawn Weight Multiplier, cap its share by turning on Override Spawn Limit % and setting Spawn Limit Percentage, or turn on Disable Spawns.
• NPC Replacements: replace one creature with another wherever it spawns, both picked from a list.

How many spawn

Dino Count Multiplier on the Dino Settings card scales the number of wild creatures, from 0.1 to 5.
